A lot of the, side effects of colonization, with the American Indians, the the white europeans, was a brutal experience. My grandmother, who is 81, went through the Indian Boarding Schools, she went to Sheldon Jackson, in Sitka, Alaska. These events, especially with American Indians didn't just happen, 400 years ago, or at contact, it happened within the past 80 years. In the 1920's, American Indians had their religion "banned", their ceremonies were considered to be an illegal/satanist act...

My grandmother's experiences, at Sheldon Jackson were brutal, and that was in her liftime, and she is still kicking, friend...:) The effects of colonization, on American Indians is pretty damn significant, go to any reservation, or indian boarding school, look at how these people live, American Indians, by and large, live in utter defeat....
